rainbow bounces off spider web
pink plumeria flowers
fall
create
colorful
bed
lizard
lounging
under morning sun
defensively
moving his head

Varanasi
India
Hindu pilgrims pray and bathe in Ganges
Snake charmer puts cobra at ease
Sadhus smoke their chillums
Burning ghats leave only ashes & fragments of skeletons
Cows roam all around
I walk on the sacred ground

searching for answers
I step on a fire ant mound
I’m the intruder
everyone
protects their home

Jericoacoara ‘Jeri’ Brazil
Swingers paradise
Dune buggies riding sand dunes
Dance under full moon
Sleeping in hammock past noon
No one is going home soon

Eyeballs everywhere
Population told to fear
Freedom rapidly disappears
Phones are tapped
Internet hacked
Life totally tracked

every day
moving bales of hay
convenience
fear of change
only one act in play

slow down
have a seat
your heart is full of deceit
hate controls your soul
you cannot even sit still
my advice is to just chill

relax
take deep breaths
understanding you have needs
I am here to please
giving oil massage
this is for real
not a mirage

I’m a marshmallow

until then feel much sorrow

Had fight with wife
Decided to go out for night
Went down to South Beach
In shock with price of drinks
Complained
Bartender called police

heavy rain storm
birds looking for place to hide
squirrels not far behind
bamboo dancing in the wind
happy
shack roof not leaking again

Waste
the old man
never changed
his life shortchanged
every day
anger
never far away

not fast enough

another coconut falls
I’m watching birds sip water from hanging trays
my tired bones
feel better on cushy rocking chair
hours pass
I have no cares

Boiling Over
of course
folks upset
most
just
wake-up
brush teeth
shower
work
sleep
same
same
across each sea
perpetual motion
little time for cup of tea
freedom = snatching moldy crumbs while on knees
struggle to subsist
ask big boss to piss
Why not protest?

once wore pressed clothes
stood tall
today
all have walked away

I’m your only love
yet you bring me to my knees
we build our castle
then you
hammer it into the ground

Big Boss makes a change
Peons shortchanged
Why sweat under hot sun?
Digging gold by the ton
Laboring for everyone-else is not fun

Scrambling the eggs
Fish rot on the dock today
Nothing left but hate
293
Five days heavy rain
No beach, but roof does not leak
Glad shack on high ground
290
Afternoon rainstorm
Lost all of my energy
Maybe take a nap
263
Holes side of roof
Mama Opossum and babies
Live inside rent-free
261
Bromeliad dies
Land replenished new pups grow
Hot wet days begin
255
Retail store wasteland
Close layoff sell online
Change or rot on vine
254
When will phone ring?
Feeding goldfish to keep busy
Rain falls no one calls
251
Strong wind heavy rain
Ocean waves erode past
Pain gone now have clear path
250
Hot sand burns my feet
Eating cold watermelon
Watching seagulls fly
249
Leaky shower
Drip drip drip please fix me
Old home always needs some love
248
A picturesque night
Choppy sea who will help me?
Keep swimming forward
242
Wet chilly morning
Crawling out of warm bed
Chickens need to be fed
241
Homemade vegetable soup
French bread in the oven
All-day reading books
239
Step inside my boots
They are wet cold will feel loose
Now beg for some coins
237
Chiseled out abscessed tooth
Tossed into rusty can
Lifetime of lost dreams
236
You now have the fame
Nothing will slow down your train
Why so unhappy?
231
Faceless nameless ghosts
Frantically stock shelves all night
Kowtow to machine
